Suge Knight opens up in 'American Dream/American Knightmare'

7 years 9 months ago
In a wistful moment, former rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight muses about what might have happened if the architects of that business "were friends, instead of destroying each other."

"Welcome to Marwen" is such an eccentric film that it wins a few points for sheer ambition, including its inventive visual scheme.
